Survivorship Life

Insure the lives of two people.

Survivorship life insurance insures the lives of two people and pays the death benefit when the second person dies. It can be a valuable part of your financial strategy, particularly if you have a large estate you want to help protect. Since it pays after two people have passed on, it generally costs less than other policies.

Key Features

1Proceeds from an insurance policy are generally income tax free and if properly structured, may also be free from estate tax.

2Policy loans and partial withdrawals may vary by state, may generate an income tax liability, reduce available surrender value and reduce the death benefit, or cause the policy to lapse.

Income tax free distributions are usually achieved by withdrawing to the cost basis (usually premiums paid), then using policy loans. This assumes the policy qualifies as life insurance, is not a modified endowment contract, is not lapsed or surrendered with an outstanding loan. Individual tax results may vary. You should consult your attorney or other tax advisor.
